What Are You Smoking Pages.

After lunchtime and a crazy morning I'm having some GLP Abingdon in a Rob Roy and planning the afternoon.

Lunch break Sutliff Whimsical in a Peterson rusticated standard system 302.

Taking a Pride filled with GLP Kensington on a trip to the feed store.

Having a quick bowl of GH Brown Twist in the Altinay Squat Tomato meerschaum while reading through Plato's Republic. The extra dose of N is a much needed aid to my attention span.

And as a bonus, you ll smell like dryer sheets!

Yes, I did!

Having some Epiphany in a Jost J185. I really like the look and feel of it, but I've come to the conclusion that there's a legion of ghosts in this thing. It ruins everything I put in it. Also, the bowl gets too hot no matter how slow I go.

Time to kiss it goodbye?

Just read in a Five Brothers review that it might help remove ghosts.

Elizabethan in the Dunhill and Union Square in the Larson

Back home after running errands, and am continuing yesterday's theme of smoking pipes that have suffered from lack of action lately. So, I'm smoking Dreaming Pipes Mount Tai in a smooth medium bend straight grain 2000 Winslow C silver spigot wide top dublin with a canted plateau and black acrylic saddle stem. A cup of hot tea is my drink.

Did you ever salt and alcohol the pipe first? On some estate pipes, it took me six-eight times of that and scrubbing to get them clean.

Most people recommend Carter Hall for deghosting. I never tried that, though.

So will Carter Hall.

Back from the ranch and a late senior day lunch at the casino. Still following Jiminks lead by smoking CS Northwest Trek in a seldom smoked Brebbia Extra Perfecta. Good smoker, should pull it out more often. Big surprise in the mailbox when I got home. A box from Zippo all the way from Merry Old England. A pouch of Condor and a couple of Xmas presents. Two beautiful pipe holders. What a guy. Will have to go visit him in Old Blighty one of these days.

 

[lgoldberg]

On deghosting, I did do the salt and alcohol when I got it, but only once. Might try that again.

I have Carter Hall match, don't think I've ever tried it though.

Carter Hall
After I used a pharmaceutical to quit cigarette use for the better part of a year life got stressful. I started puffing on aromatic cigars to keep my blood pressure under control. We had just moved and I started wanting to get back to a pipe but all my pipes were in some box, some where. Ehrlich had already closed so I had no idea what to smoke or where to buy it, the internet hadn't revealed itself. I stopped into a chain pharmacy and found some cobs and old codger blends and bought a pipe, Half & Half and Carter Hall. The Carter Hall in the cheap corn cob was my pathway back into pipes. My after dinner pipe is GLP Westminster in a Boone with an amber stem, the green they come with look disgusting, along with a glass of Moscato.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, wild caught cat fish and snow peas dinner with a healthy size, calorie laden slice of Collin Street Bakery Fruit Cake and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. Always hated fruit cake until I tried this one. It's the only one I have ever liked. Anyway, I'm a quarter of the way through the last of this tin of year 2014 Orlik Golden Sliced in a 1999 Brebbia black sandblasted quarter bend egg small pocket pipe with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Still smoking neglected pipes. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

I let Tomato the Brave in the house so Abner the Eager could eat in peace. After he finished eating, Tomato jumped up on my chair for attention. He's such a happy cat who still thinks he's a kitten.

Listing this early: year 2022 Peter Heinrichs Curly Cut in a 1980 smooth medium brown full bend D’Argento calabash with a removable flared bowl inside a bowl with cork edges and a black and dark gold acrylic tapered stem.

@JimInks

MMMMMMM...Fruitcake!

Tomato is certainly a happy camper.

Ran Plum Pudding SR through the Cobbler again and also through the little meer. Couldn't reproduce the bitter flavour I ran into with it two days ago. Gonna ring it up to palate fatigue. I'm still not buying it again, I simply don't like it as much as regular Plum Pudding. Different strokes....

Tinned tobaccos are getting too expensive for me, anyway. Nice for a treat but not for my regular rotation. I have a 2lb order of different bulks on the way for the New Year, I expect the cost to be 40% lower than half the amount of tinned tobaccos of the same blends. I keep almost no cellar so it only makes cents for me.

Did a little snacking, and am at the half way mark of this bowl of year 2012 Esoterica Dunbar in a 2003 medium bend straight grain Viggo Nielsen freehand dublin sitter with a cumberland saddle stem. First time I have smoked Dunbar in a pipe that wasn't my William Conrad Charatan dublin since I got the latter pipe.

Listening to Paul Winter Consort and enjoying GLP Kensington in a Pride along with a glass of Moscato before bed.
